How do you properly freeze bananas

Ditto!

Double Ditto! Looks gross when you squeeze it out, but super easy!

I've been freezing bananas for about 15 years. I just put the whole banana in the door of the freezer. Easy! They do turn black and when they thaw make sure they are on a plate, lots of water collects. But they are perfect for baking!

By the way... The Pioneer Woman has a fantastic Banana bread recipe, that takes 5 frozen bananas!

And a funny story... When DS15 was about 4, I had a few black bananas thawing on a plate on the counter. He walks in and asks, "WHAT ARE THOSE??!!!", obviously alarmed So I asked, "What do you think they are?" and he yells... "SLUGS!"

Happy baking!

I stand them straight up in a large pyrex measuring cup -- and use the liquid in baking -- Yum!

Too much work--chuck the whole, unpeeled banana into the freezer. It will turn black, do not be alarmed. When you're ready to bake, take it out, defrost it in the fridge or counter. Snip off the top of the banana, it will have the texture of a pureed banana, you squeeze it out like a tube. It works great, I actually prefer the frozen ones for bread/muffins, it mixes great and has a deeper banana flavor.

This exactly!
